1912 Map of Beverly

About this map

The Columbia River carves a deep path through the arid landscape of Grant and Kittitas counties, serving as the primary geographical divider between the Saddle Mountains and the Frenchman Hills. This 1912 survey, reprinted in 1947, illustrates a period when the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad established a vital transportation corridor through this central Washington terrain. The rail line follows the course of Crab Creek and passes near the now-submerged site of Cohassett.
